Now while I promise not to plaster Cary posters all over Hamilton, I am guilty of a few of these things - that other people have done too, may I add!
* You WISH you were left-handed because Cary was.
* You've ever had an intervention held on your behalf because your friends or family are concerned that you are spending too much time watching Cary Grant movies.
* You are willing to drive 500 miles to see Cary on the BIG screen.
* People at work call you "that Cary Grant girl" because you have pictures of him in frames on your desk as if he were a relative.
* You have an irrational hatred of that "eyebrow woman," Joan Fontaine, just because Cary Grant once expressed a mild dislike of her in an off-handed comment.
* You've set your alarm for 3 A.M [on a school night] so that you wouldn't miss the 3:15 showing of a CG film you've never seen.
* YOU REMIND ME OF A MAN!!!
* You REALLY think "Archibald" is a nice name
*You simply must collect every movie in it's purest form, (dvd or vhs) even if you already have it taped from TV. (i.e. you will pay the $15 for the DVD of "Kiss Them For Me")
* You have a sudden irrepressible urge to visit Bristol, England.
* You have a majority of your home page dedicated to Cary (or have a Cary page all in itself)
* You bought shelves just to display your DVD/VHS collection and have easy access to it.
* You stop on a Cary movie while channel surfing and watch it anyway, even though you have seen it 1000 times and/or you don't like the movie to begin with.
* You start signing your letters "Happy Thoughts"
* You buy Cover Girl makeup because of the CG monogram on it.
* You have a jealous fit every time you see him kiss one of those co-star Dames!
* Your conversations and school assignments always include a line from some Cary movie
* You yell 'CHARGE!!!!!' every time you go up stairs.
* You think of other actors in relation to how many Cary Grant movies they were in.
* Every time you get paid, you buy at least one CG movie.
*You get into arguments with coworkers whenever you tell them that you'd rather be on an island with Walter Eckland than going down the river with Charlie Allnut. (Well not yet, but as soon as Nat sees The African Queen.....)
* If a CG movie is on, all things stop.
* You don't really like alcohol, but you love pink champagne!
* Bristol's high on your list of places to visit
* You are home alone for three days and all you do is watch CG movies.
* You quote lines from CG movies, complete with hand motions.
* You quote lines from CG movie for no reason (I.E. when one of his movies isn't on!).
* You cry when Nickie realizes that Terry was the one that bought his painting.
* You cry at the end of "AATR". (Actually I start blubbering as soon as I put the movie on!)
* You have to educate certain people when you reference a CG movie, line or character.
* You think the crop-duster scene from "North by Northwest" rules all.
* You wish CG and Audrey Hepburn made more movies together.
* You can recite the entire movie "Arsenic and Old Lace", line by line, from memory
* Your family is so tired of hearing you talk about Cary Grant that they begin to worry about your obsession (or they come to you when they want to know little trivia facts about CG
* You have a typed list of the Cary Grant movies you own, want, or don't own so that your family knows what to get you for your birthday or for Christmas
* You hold your living room captive for 24 hours on Cary's birthday and have a movie marathon.
* You start asking your bf to call you "Monkey Face". True fans will know why, all others should watch Suspicion.
* You know you will never have his autograph because you are too afraid to get a fake on ebay.

* You enter into a bidding war on TradeMe for those DVDs that you just can’t get your hands on elsewhere!
* Your Cary Grant movies are segregated from the rest of the DVD collection.
* You've memorized all the words to all the songs in An Affair to Remember cause it's your favorite movie of all time
* You spend all your spare time online at CG sites
* One can know that she is a Cary Grant fan when her boyfriend has to ask her to move the 8 by 10 framed glossy she has of Cary next to her bed somewhere else....
